“Amazing Views” We love going to Maui, love the island and love to explore and also golf. The condo was in great shape, the golf course was awesome and the views off of the 2nd green in the evening was so amazing to see the sunsets! Can't wait to go back.

“Fantastic Kam Sands Condo!!!” We have stayed at Kamaole Sands a number of times now, and this is the best unit that we have found. The condo if very nicely upgraded, it has been very well maintained, and Joe and Gee have taken great care to make sure that it is fully stocked with all that you might need. Don't hesitate to book this one - you will be very impressed!!!

“Beautiful condo and with breathtaking views...your own little bit of paradise” The condo is located in a most desirable and sought after area of the western coast of Maui. Being right on the beach, you will have breataking views and depending on the time of year, a lot of whales waving at you. The condo is a beautifully decorated home away from home with all the amenities. The resort is immaculate with a lot of functions going on for all ages. Hope to visit again soon.

“Maui Kamaole Condo” The unit is extremely well stocked with linens and kitchenware,including beach accessory needs. There are multiple entertainment systems as well as WiFi. The unit is comfortable and airy with flow through ventilation. The property is beautifully landscaped and has a very nice swimming area as well as (clean) BBQs for outdoor grilling. Beach access is nearby as are restaurants and small stores. We enjoyed our time there immensely.

“Best family holiday we have had in ages” This is a really lovely place. The pool area and cabana are private and very user friendly. Beach in the morning and sheltered pool area in the afternoon, ideal with 3 teenagers. Bedrooms are spacious and everything works. We didn't bother with a/c just opened the house up and used the ceiling fans. Plenty of living space and room for people to do their own thing if they wanted to. Close to most things but far enough away from noise and crowds. It helps that Maui is absolutely brilliant. Andrew leaves you alone but is readily available to help with any minor issues. The kids said it was the best family holiday they have been on in ages. We agree.

“WHY this is THE B E S T Condo Experience on Kaanapali Beach!!” Why this is the B E S T Condo Experience on Kaanapali Beach!!
1 – The Closest Oceanfront Condo location on Kaanapali Beach
2 – Luxurious Condo with the comforts of home
3 – Gourmet Kitchen with extensive accessories and staples
4 – Condo Owners COMMITTED to Excellent Customer Service
1 – Our family has stayed in every Kaanapali property (excluding the Sheraton) on Kaanapali Beach. They all have their own special characteristics and charm. The Whaler Condo 802 has the best location, comfort, and luxurious amenities. Most of the resorts are all set back from the ocean, and you do not have that feeling of being right on the ocean. Condo 802 is directly in front of the ocean. The soothing ocean sounds truly enhances the level of relaxation during both awake and sleeping hours. The beach in front of The Whaler is one of the best beach sites on Kaanapali Beach for relaxing and swimming. There is a reef directly in front of The Whaler that is good for snorkeling. Black Rock is a short walk from The Whaler that has OUTSTANDING snorkeling and turtle siting opportunities.
2 – The Condo is breathtakingly beautiful and immaculate. The owners, Simon and JaNell, are committed to comfort and luxury. The beds are extremely comfortable. I have sleep challenges “on the mainland” but not in Condo 802. I could not believe how well I slept. This is our 2nd time staying in Condo 802, and I have now stayed in both the guest and master rooms. The sleep situation was outstanding in both rooms. The Master Suite is spectacular. Both rooms are wonderful. However, the Master Suite is incredible!
Also, the Lanai is so wonderful. As stated previously, you cannot get any closer to the ocean. We were able to directly watch the whales and site turtles as they swim along the beach line. We even saw a small pod of dolphins swimming close by, as well!!
3 – The kitchen is fantastic! We stayed for 12 nights in Condo 802. (For this trip, we decided to stay more days and dine out less.) We prepared the majority of our meals in the condo. (Martha Stewart would not be disappointed.) Every kitchen utensil and appliance is available. Spices and staples are on hand. We had many gourmet dinners, and we were never deficit for the proper accoutrements.
4 – Simon and JaNell Zemel are outstanding owners. We have stayed in many other Whaler condos. All of The Whaler owners have been wonderful. However, Simon and JaNell set a very high bar for customer service. Shortly after our arrival we received a welcome call from JaNell. She called to ensure that everything in the Condo was accommodating our needs, and she wanted to make certain that we were enjoying our stay in their home. The owners are immediately responsive to any request or issue. We had a minor garbage disposal malfunction. It was immediately addressed and resolved. Simon and JaNell are committed to making your experience in Condo 802 to be relaxing and luxurious. I believe the difference in staying at a 5 Star Resort, and The Whaler Condo 802, is that Condo 802 feels like home. There are wonderful kitchen supplies, toiletries, and laundry supplies. Condo 802 is also stocked with beach gear, which eliminates the need to rent beach gear that you may need during your vacation. Again, the owners are outstanding. They make you feel like you are close friends staying in their home.
The only negative issue is leaving. The reentry into reality is very tough after staying at The Whaler Condo 802.

“Close to great beaches all you need is your flip flops” This is our 3rd year staying in this condo. It is clean and has all the amenities including beach toys,coolers,and even suntan lotion. The property has a place to grill and a pool. It also has a great area for the kids to play right outside your back door. Awesome condo with everything within walking distance. Don't miss out on this place book today!!

“In the Top 3!” We have been coming to Maui for over 30 years. In that time, we have stayed in many different condos and Ohanas(private cottages). This unit was definitely in our top 3. The location was perfect! We could easily walk out our door to grocery stores & post office or restaurants. The unit was a little more spacious than most. They have upgraded the kitchen & bathroom, doing an excellent job on the nice big shower. Being located on the ground floor, with a spacious lanai, & near the BBQs, offered us the opportunity to host a couple of gatherings for 10-12 people. The unit is pretty well stocked with almost anything you"ll need. We loved the king size bed and and the matching furnishings. Having a safe for our valuables was an added & well appreciated bonus.The grounds are well kept, with an excellent swimming pool and outdoor kitchen area. The beach is only a block away. The owners are very responsive to any problem that we had. There were only 2 negatives that we found but which we managed to work around. The w/d are not in the unit. Luckily, they are located right outside the door and there was a change machine at the pool, which helped immensely. The laundry so close, made it less of an inconvenience than we thought it would be & we were there for 6 wks, so we did do laundry. The most negative thing is that this complex bills itself as a nonsmoking complex but has no bylaws to enforce No Smoking on residents who choose to smoke on their lanais. All guests seem to follow the rules and restricted their smoking to the designated Smoking Areas. Unfortunately, the owner/neighbor next to us, even after implored by both the owners and ourselves to please not smoke because it drifted directly into our unit, persisted in doing so and was not reasonable when approached. Luckily, this will not deter us from returning to this unit. We had a mostly wonderful stay and sincerely look forward to more stays in the near future and for years to come.

“3 generation getaway” The Lahaina Gatehouse was perfect for our group of grandparents, kids, their spouses and two grandsons ages 4 and 8 (8 people total). There's enough space for gatherings as well as getting away for privacy too. The saltwater pool was the central gathering place for all and is beautifully maintained. There were boogie boards, water toys and water wings too. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property to family or friends.

“Well-Appointed Condo - Hope to be Back Next Year!” Well-designed unit provides extra privacy and sleeping space. Really appreciated the two king beds. Close to what we consider to be the best beaches on Maui.

“Perfect location” Truly a perfect location. The constant sound of the waves on the reef outside is very relaxing. Easy access to snorkeling right outside the apartment. The apartment is extremely well kept and has a great range of cooking equipment, plates, glasses etc – everything we needed. Sitting for meals on the patio is just beautiful. There are plenty of supermarkets nearby and even the ABC store at the nearest gas station has a lot of useful supplies! We would thoroughly recommend this condo and would love to go back!

“Another Fantastic Summer Vacation in Maui!” “This has been our third summer vacation at your condo and again we had an amazing time! We love the location and always have everything we need at the condo. We love the beach, restaurants, snorkeling and coffee! Thank you for everything.”

“Everything we dreamed of...” Thank you, Robert, for providing such wonderful accommodations! The listing was perfectly described and outfitted. (we never turned on the TV either!) We didn't want to stay in a touristy area and we found the perfect getaway. I really felt like we were on an island. We especially enjoyed the walk to the Ma'alaea Bay and Marina Harbor shops. Quite a few of our meals were eaten at the restaurants by the Marina. The salt water (saline) pool was very refreshing before and after our days on the beach and wandering through neighboring towns. Everything we needed was close and easily accessible. We appreciate the help with suggestions of local spots to see and they were very close. The new air conditioner in the condo was great, too. This place has everything any home would provide....fully stocked kitchen, spacious bedroom, and great bathroom. We'd recommend Robert's place to anyone looking for a relaxing, fully furnished place without the crazy hotel costs. I really hope I get to come back to West Maui and I will surely be staying at Robert's!

“The perfect escape” This cottage was one of the best parts of an amazing honeymoon. Nothing is too much trouble for the owners, the house is gorgeously decorated and situated, the views are stunning. It is in a peaceful location just a short drive away from the amazing beaches of north shore Maui. Everything in the house was so well thought through and just the perfect escape from real life. If only we could have stayed!

“Wonderful Beach Front Condo!” We enjoyed our week in this beautiful beach front condo which was in a perfect location! The condo is beautifully decorated and fully stocked with everything you need for a fabulous vacation in Maui. Watching the sunsets as we looked out at Lanai and Molokai was the highlight of each day! We have been traveling to Lahaina since 1965, and this is our new favorite place!

“Great island feel, clean, all the amenities you’d ever want, and close to it all.” We used this as the perfect spot to start and end our days. Stopped at Costco on way from the airport to get our basics. Had a homemade breakfast and dinner most nights and packed a few picnics. Great information supplied on which restaurants and attractions to see supplied by the owner. The decore was so adorable in the unit it was great to come home to. The unit was clean and had everything we needed. The pool and hot tub were immaculate as well. After exploring the island it was soothing to relax here. We even got a chance to see our beloved Toronto Maple leafs play thanks to the Great cable coverage. Walked across to the beach several times and saw turtles and whales. Can’t wait to come back.

“Near the action yet quiet.” It was a short walk to a beautiful beach and quite a lot of traffic before there but the condo was quiet with the sounds of birds and a cool breeze passing through so AC wasn't needed even in the heat of summer.

“Great stay” Spent 2 weeks here and was not disappointed at all, it met all of our needs. The condo was very clean, kitchen we'll stocked, and most important was the bed was very comfortable. There was never any noise problems day or night. It's in a great location, short walk to lots of restaurants, gift shops, and. Of course the ice cream shop. Condo us also furnished with snorkel gear, beach chairs, and mats. If you stay here you will not be disappointed.
